ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5699-9]


Meeting To Create a Successor Organization to the Grand Canyon 
Visibility Transport Commission

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 
is announcing an organizational meeting of the successor organization 
to the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission (Commission). The 
meeting will be held on March 12-13, 1997 at the Atlantis Hotel, 3800 
South Virginia Street, Reno, Nevada. The meeting will begin at 9:00 am 
on the 12th and end at noon on the 13th.
    The Commission made recommendations to EPA per Section 169B of the 
Clean Air Act in June, 1996. At that time the Commission determined 
that a successor organization was necessary to track and coordinate the 
implementation of its recommendations. Subsequently the Commission 
approved, by mail ballot, the membership and general characteristics of 
such an organization.
    At the meeting in Reno, the new organization will adopt by-laws 
governing its goals, principles and operating procedures. Whereas the 
principal function of the organization will be to foster the 
implementation of the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission's 
recommendations, it will also consider additional functions relating to 
air quality in the western United States.
    The Commission was established by U.S. EPA on November 13, 1991 
(see 56 FR 57522, November 12, 1991). All meetings are open to the 
public. These meetings are not subject to the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. John T. Leary, Project Manager for the Grand Canyon Visibility 
Transport
